DISPLAY DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 699,557, dated May 6, 1902. Application filed August 12, 1901- Serial No. 71,778- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: p

Be it known that I, JAMES K. ONEY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Huntington, in the county of Oabell and State of West Virginia, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Display Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in display devices, being in the nature of a simple construction which can be readily applied to a window or door frame to support an arm or bar which may carry a sign or other indicating means for advertising or like purposes; and the invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my invention as in use and applied toa frame, which may be that of a door or window, as desired. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of the display device.

The construction as shown includes a base plate A, having wings'A and A at an angle, usually a right angle, to each other and is provided upon the wings A and A with the transversely-extending sockets or boxes a. and c arranged on the outer face of the baseplate A and inclining upwardly from their inner ends, which are adjacent to the angle between the wings, toward their outer ends, which terminate at the outer edges of the wings, as shown in Fig. 2', the box a being arranged below the box a, so both boxes at and a can extend at their inner ends into the angle between the wings A and A It will be noticed that by this construction the wing A forms the inner end of the socket provided by the box a on the wing A and the wing A the inner end of the socket formed by the box a, the outer ends of the boxes being open, so the arms or bars 1 and 2 may be inserted in their respective sockets, as shown in Fig. 1, and may bear at their outer ends the signs 3 and 4;, which may be displayed the sign 3 to those passing along the street and the sign 4 to those passing in and out of the doorway when the frame B is that of a door or to persons within the room when the frame Bis that of a window. It will be noticed that the frame B is formed to provide a right angle at B, in which the display device may be fitted and secured by screws or nails or in other suit able manner. Manifestly the device maybe made of any suitable material and in different sizes to suit different uses. The rods 1 and 2 may be made of any suitable material and of a sufficient length to support their signs or display-cards clear of the woodwork of the door or window.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' A display device consisting of the baseplate having wings united at an angle approximating a right angle, and transverselyextending socket-boxes arranged one on each of the said wings and one above the other and closed at their inner ends by the wings joining those on which the respective socket boxes are provided substantially as set forth.
